So following on from option 3), I find I can download the version with about the date on Wx::PdfDocument with:

wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wxcode/Components/wxPdfDoc
+ument/wxpdfdoc-0.7.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf wxpdfdoc-0.7.5.tar.gz
cd wxpdfdoc
export PATH=/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Alien/wxWidgets/gtk_2_8_11_uni/
+bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Alien/wxWidgets/gtk_
+2_8_11_uni/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./configure
make
make install
cd ~
[download]

On the way I get a few compile errors like this:

././src/pdfimage.cpp:580: error: ‘class wxGIFDecoder’ has no member na
+med ‘ReadGIF’
././src/pdfimage.cpp:587: error: ‘class wxGIFDecoder’ has no member na
+med ‘GetWidth’
././src/pdfimage.cpp:588: error: ‘class wxGIFDecoder’ has no member na
+med ‘GetHeight’
[download]

As I have no intention of using GIFs I comment out the offending code.

And miraculously I get a clean compile.

I already have Wx 2.8.11 (as you can see). So now I do a cpan install and this is the resulting dump:

Maybe it's because wxWidgets is a relatively new version and Wx::PdfDocuments is relatively 'Mature'.

What do you think?
